DIY Bathroom Surface Spray

Ingredients

Directions

  1.  Combine all ingredients in 16 oz. spray bottle and shake well before each use. 
  2.  Use this aromatic solution for bathroom counters, cabinets, blinds, tile, sinks, tubs, and fan blades.

Pro Tip

  • I purchased a glass spray bottle, but you could also upcycle an old plastic bottle.
  • Vinegar should not be used on granite countertops as it can have adverse effects on the sealant. 

 

Mirror and Glass Cleaner

Ingredients

  • 1 part distilled white vinegar
  • 1 part distilled water

Directions

  1. Fill an upcycled or glass spray bottle with equal parts of water and vinegar and shake gently to combine.
  2. Spray directly on mirror or glass
  3. Use balled-up newspaper, microfiber cloth, or material of choice, and wipe in circular motions until dry and streak-free. The vinegar scent should dissipate after a few hours, but a few spritzes of an aroma spray can sometimes aid in this process.

 

Homemade Fizzy Toilet Bowl Powder

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Using a wooden or non-reactive spoon and a glass or stainless steel bowl, combine dry ingredients. 
  2. Drop in essential oils and mix thoroughly
  3. Transfer to cardboard shaker top bottle for easy dispersal. 
  4. Sprinkle desired amount of powder directly into the toilet bowl and watch it fizz! Then scrub and flush. 

 Pro Tips

  • Mix in a well-ventilated room. You may also want to wear a mask while mixing if you are sensitive. 
  • Please keep out of the reach of children and pets!
  • This mixture is not toilet-exclusive. Mix some powder in with hot water to create a solution that can be used in tubs, showers, sinks, or even for floor mopping.
